Jeff Rosenblad's sons, Johnny and Sam, picking cucumbers on the farm
At the tender ages of 12 and 14, Sam and Johnny Rosenblad are already seasoned entrepreneurs, taught well by their dad, farmer Jeff Rosenblad. They sell cucumbers from Happy Harvest Farms in Mount Angel, OR, at the local farmers’ market and to Bon Appétit at both University of Portland and Willamette University through the Farm to Fork program. To get an idea of the scale of their business, last year, Executive Chef James Green at University of Portland purchased more than 1,400 pounds of cucumbers, while the crew at Willamette University in Salem bought around 800 pounds.Willamette pickled them in-house and served them through January 2012!
